I had a very wonderful experience yesterday. One of our local TV stations, WQOW, came to our house to do some taping and interviewing for a Mayberry piece they are going to run next Monday night on their six o'clock news. The reporter was really excited about doing a Mayberry story so he spent an hour video taping all my Mayberry collections and especially the squad car. He asked me numerous questions and had me demonstrate everything on the car. I had to explain the significance of the one bullet and even had to demonstrate taking my gun out of my holster. First question was whether or not I was a Barney Fife impersonator, and I certainly set the record straight on that. I was able to share my story of how I received my uniform from our own David Browning and I was able to put in a nice plug for the Digest and of course the Taylor Home Inn. He really enjoyed the Hawthorne Villages and taped my trains traveling through Mayberry for quite a while too. He said the piece he was planning would be about two minutes long on the nightly news but he wanted to do a lot of taping and interviewing so he could do a good job of it. It will be very interesting to see what he comes up with. I will post a link to the video next week after it airs. I offered my video on the chicken trick but he wasn't really interested in that. I suppose he figured it would take the edge away from Mr. Food's Program.
